Pros

Flexible work schedule, great discount on products, open and helpful environment, room for advancement, lots of training, good starting pay for retail

Cons

When sales slow down, there are major cuts to part-time employee hours. The company knows this happens every year and should plan for it throughout the year so that part-time employees are not affected so much. It's impossible to pay bills on 1-2 shifts per week.

Pros

Decent pay for the most part

Cons

No raises, no bonuses, as an IC doing every other department is more important. Lots of forced overtime at the last minute.
